Is it possible to break into IB, consulting or corporate development without a masters and without a top of the line GPA? I know I can handle the work it’s just the matter of receiving the opportunity to do so

Find an analyst role at a consulting company, T4 offers one and isn’t asking for much experience. With your EXP in ops you’d be a good fit. Transition your experience and show on your resume how you analyzed data to provide results to your clients. That way you can move up to more client facing roles you are looking for.

I networked my ass off to get my shot in high finance. To get started just join your local CFA society. Take the level 1 at least once and goto as many luncheons as possible. Any even they have you make it and network.

CFA is def a shortcut in.

Of course, it is. Could be challenging and difficult. But if you are just asking if it is possible, then yes.
